On Sunday, we showed you a video of The All New HTC One that was filmed February 19th, and posted on social media Sunday by a kid named Roshan Jamkatel. During the video, the kid says that the phone is not yet available, and does everything he can to cover up the device's unique IMEI number posted on the back of the device...

This is not part of the question, the iPad is unquestionably sexy. What I mean is that manufacturers are forgetting how important the screen to body ratio is, thus the joke for an iPad sized iPhone with a 4 inch screen.

Apple is top and they know how to design, here the US the iPhone is common some brands are not known to some people..I live in Washington and everyone has iPhone or Samsung..There are many brands that i never even knew existed till i found phone arena in early 2013 but i do stand for 3 platforms..

iPhone 6 will not be much of an increase in size. They are conservative and will stick with the easy one hand use philosophy, so I cannot see that being over 4.8 at max. The rumors of two sizes is a joke as that doesn't agree with Apple guidelines. (They have a 7.9 inch mini for a larger but compact iOS) and will stick to only a single size for the phone to make it easier for developers to create applications.

Congratulations Jeff Gordon (HTC ‎Senior Global Online Communications Manager), you just did bigger damage for HTC by scaring kid online than this leak did to HTC! It is very interesting how person with such thinking managed to reach such high position in such big company like HTC ?! Next time before writing something like that go and visit marketing department for clever advice! ;)

they sheppy since when does telling a kids parent there in trouble for something the kid did ever stop a kid, in america you cant touch your kid spaken his dad should smack the crap out of him, take all his things away sell them, but it will never happen so telling the teen that did the leak its not gonna be a good week for you is not threatening

HTC is such a douche company that they are going to take legal action on this kid, when the problem lies in their supply chain which is very faulty. Im sure this phone will be a flop and they are trying to desperately cover that up before it launches.

Any type of "leak" is considered illegal unless the company forgets to have contracts signed by their employees. Every phone company makes their employees sign contracts that state they will not leak any information to the public without the consent and knowledge of the manufacturer. So, in this case, the kid broke a legal binding contract and has to answer for it or whoever gave him the phone will have to answer for it.

That is very possible, which as I said means that they both will be in trouble. The one will have to answer for breaching his contract and the kid will have to somehow justify that he didn't know it was an unannounced device and that he didn't know it was wrong to do what he did (which would be very hard to argue in court considering in his video he said that he knew it was an unannounced device).

I'm pretty sure the kid didn't sign an agreement not to show phone.
The kid is innocent. Go after the parents if thats who signed it. And at that point what can they really do. Again, some big dufus in a big role in a company went out on his own and made comments that in turn will probably have HTC fire him. And not do anything against people that made a video.

They can fire the parents for breaking the contract, which according to some sources is what happened. Also, I wouldn't say the kid is "innocent" as he even states in the video that he is presenting an unannounced device for everyone to see. That suggests he knows at least a little bit about what he is doing. Maybe he's not totally at fault, but he is far from being innocent. He even tried to hide the tracking information on the back which suggests he had some knowledge of what he was doing.

This is HTC's fault for not being careful of protecting the prototype from leaking, so they can't blame the person who leaked it. Anyway, thanks to Jamkatel for leaking the All New One in it's full glory, salute to you!

How? This only hurts the product. Would you rather some squeeky stuttering kid who appeared to have very little idea of what he was talking about unveiling your product? Or somebody with decent presentation skills and knowledge of the product? This guy deserves to be pissed.
